Ava Use of Industry and Tourism Revives Rural Town
The Agriculture Department cites Ava Missouri as a rural community that stemmed population loss by forming an industrial development corporation in 1955. It funded land for an industrial park, lured a sporting goods plant, added a second $270,000 facility, expanded water and sewer, and built a new $350,000 school. A mountain tour and feeder pig and cattle programs boosted growth, halting migration and raising business activity by over $1 million annually. 120 new homes and 20 percent higher real estate values followed as Ava built an economic foundation for revival.
